Cannot open directory "\\xxx\x\found.000".

ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [DirReaderPlus]

Hi,
I suddenly getting this this error when starting a mirror operation that I've used many times (X's replace my info). I did remove the drive and attach it to another machine briefly (machine is safe, of course)--that is the only thing I can think of that might have triggered this error. Suggestions? Thanks!

delete that folder. It is the result of Windows running a chkdsk and recovering file fragments. You can look through them if you want, but I have yet to come across one with useful data.

Thanks very much xC...
That was my first line of attack, but I couldn't actually find the folder. I finally realized I had to unhide protected operating system files. It then showed up. I deleted it, and all is well with the world (not...! :-).
Thanks again.
